Thai-Muslims to hold First Thailand Halal Assembly to boost travel, trade with Islamic World
.............................................................................................................................................................................................. A GLOBAL PLATFORM FOR HALAL INDUSTRY Bangkok – An estimated 5,000 delegates are expected to meet in Bangkok between December 28 – 30 for the first “Thailand Halal Assembly 2014″ to be held at the Bangkok Convention Center, Centara Grand Hotel at Central World. Organised jointly by the Halal Science Center of Chulalongkorn University, the Central Islamic Council of Thailand and Halal Standard Institute of Thailand, the event is designed to help upgrade the standards of halal products and services being made in Thailand to cater to the rapidly growing Islamic market, both within Asia and worldwide. Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-ocha will deliver the opening speech. The core objective is the launch of Thailand Diamond Halal, a brand concept under which all halal products and services sourced in Thailand will be marketed and exported. One session at the conference will be devoted specifically to Halal Tourism and Hospitality and Halal Medical Tourism. The Royal Thai Government has given strong backing to the event because of the benefits accruing to regional ASEAN socio-cultural and economic integration. After the 2015
population of the 10 ASEAN countries will comprise 46% of Muslims. This is a huge market waiting to be tapped by the ThaiMuslim community.According to Associate Professor Dr Winai Dahlan, Founding Director of the Halal Science Centre, Chulalongkorn University, “We have invited senior executives from all over the world, including the Organisation of Islamic Countries, to share their experiences and knowledge, and become better acquainted with more than 120,000 Thai-made halal products and services, which will now be known as Thailand Diamond Halal.” Added Dr Pakorn Piyakorn, Director, Halal Standards Institute of Thailand, “There are about six million Muslims in Thailand. Because we are a minority, we have even more responsibility to help build a strong Thailand. By upgrading and certifying our standards, by next year these products and services will become much better known worldwide.” In addition to the Thailand Halal Expo 2014, which has attracted about 200 exhibitors, the event will include scientific conferences and workshops to help participants and delegates share knowledge on advances in other Islamic countries.

CICOT
has Halal Consumers and Companies at Heart
O
ne of the prides of Thailand is its Central Islamic Committee (CICOT). Ever since its inception in 1997 by royal decree, CICOT has helped develop Thailand’s Halal standards, certifications, education, and international recognition. Thai Halal companies have been able to increase in number and flourish domestically and internationally due to the holistic approach of CICOT and its programs. CICOT is part of a group of three organizations in charge of Halal affairs in Thailand: CICOT, the Provincial Islamic Committee of Thailand, and the Committee of Mosques Thailand. There are many organizations under CICOT itself, and H-mag spoke with the Deputy Director of the Institute of Halal Standards Thailand, Mr. Khatahwut Lohmud, to discuss CICOT’s role in the success and progress of Thailand’s Halal sector. “Thailand exports the highest number of Halal products than any other country in Asia,” says Lohmud proudly. Each year over 10,000 Halal certified products are slated for export to places around the world from Thailand. This is as impressive as the number of Halal certified products sold locally: over 3000 certified companies producing over 100,000 different certified 8
local products. How has CICOT been so successful in fostering such a large and growing number of Halal companies and products? “We advise companies not to worry about fees, the application process, or any related difficulties,” explains Lohmud. “We have enacted several programs to help companies maintain high Halal standards. This is why consumers have trust in CICOT’s seal of approval.” These programs include such things as education and training sessions and seminars, assigned consultants to assist in constant compliance with standards, and even 24-hour Halal supervisors for abattoirs (slaughterhouses). Consumers can also stay reassured that inspections and audits are often and rigorous as certification only lasts a year and renewal comes with a guaranteed audit. CICOT also makes certification more approachable by keeping application fees to a minimum: SML (small companies) – 10,000 Baht (≈ US$312), medium-sized companies – 15,000 Baht (≈ US$468), and large/international companies – 20,000 Baht (≈ US$623). With all of this in place, the average time to certification has now reached only 45-60 days. CICOT is also in the process of finishing their online application program to ease

the initial stages of certification. Thailand’s Halal producers have taken regulations in stride as CICOT has assisted them throughout their certification journey. This has led to 60-70% of Thailand’s Halal products being export. “We can also claim that 100% of Thailand’s exported chicken is Halal because of how we regulate and certify large slaughterhouses to be Halal. These companies are then able to reach places such as Japan, Malaysia, the UK, the UAE, Netherlands, and even Iceland,” Lohmud explains. CICOT has created an amazing organizational structure to promote the growth and exposure of Thailand’s Halal sector as well as recognition of its high Halal standards to the Thai public and international community. Thailand’s Halal future is in the hands of CICOT and its affiliates, and they have a mindful, positive, and cooperative plan to create an ever expanding and improving Halal reputation.

T
hailand has recently had some top-level political obstacles to overcome lately, but that has not held back many of its organizations from forging ahead and creating great progress for the South Asian country. Dr. Winai Dahlan graciously gave H-mag a first international look at one of the Central Islamic Council of Thailand’s (CICOT) major developments that will be rolling out in the near future. Dr. Winai Dahlan is one of several vice-presidents of CICOT, and a leading expert in Halal product testing. His research and development team at the University of Chulalongkorn operates within the campus’s Halal Science Center, and has innovated several technologies, techniques, and procedures to provide improved Halal quality control throughout the industry. This has also led to the full scale development of a Halal Forensics Lab under the university’s Halal Science Center. As head of the lab, Dr. Winai Dahlan has been the driving force behind the creation of such innovations as porcine particle testing, Halal food management systems, Halal logistics systems, and even a special soap made from clay that is used to religiously purify and disinfect certain items 10
contaminated by impermissible non-Halal substances. These advancements in Halal Science have garnered the university’s Halal Science Center many awards and a great amount of recognition since 2006 and as recently as 2012 from international and local organizations. Dr. Winai Dahlan explains CICOT’s plans to expand and increase the recognition of Halal products from Thailand, “We had the idea to rebrand the logo for CICOT certification from foreigners always commenting on the shape of the original logo. Therefore, we created this new logo to reflect not just the shape but the strength of consistent, high Halal standards and the bright future this strength creates.” The shiny diamond inlay is definitely eye-catching and impressive. “This logo will also come with a Thai Halal barcode. Anyone can use their Android device to scan it to find important information about the Halal certification,” continues Dr. Winai. This will be a gradual process that is slated to roll out once Thailand finds a more permanent civil atmosphere. CICOT also plans to improve their auditing process to include education and training for manufacturers and their workers to understand the

importance of the quality of raw materials and techniques. “This is a full idea to make Thai Halal products more competitive in the global market,” Dr. Winai reiterates. Every year, Thailand’s Halal industry is estimated to grow about 20%. This also comes with CICOT’s encouragement for Thai companies to increase their exports. As Thailand’s exports grow, better and more recognizable branding and system management is needed. Cue CICOT’s Diamond Halal and Thai Halal barcodes to help Thai companies do just that. “We plan on having a system to compare to that of Malaysia’s,” Dr. Winai states proudly. Malaysia already has experience in similar systems; and as neighboring countries, Malaysia and Thailand stand to gain a lot through cooperation as well as good-natured competition as the global Halal market annually reaches into the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Halal Yeast from the Middle East
In the future, many countries besides Muslim countries will require Halal certification just because of the growing demand.

P
akmaya is a Turkish, family-owned company established
in 1973 whose expertise in several types of yeast is
unparalleled in the region. The name Pakmaya is a derivation: “Pak” is from the family name, and “maya” is Turkish for
yeast. Besides this clever moniker however, it is the quality
and popularity of their products that has made Pakmaya synonymous with yeast the world over. “When people try our products, they see why,” Oṟҫun Oṟay, technical sales manager for Pakmaya, proudly points out.
Pakmaya provides a variety of top quality yeasts for
all types of applications: baking, fermentation, dry, instant, fresh, etc. They are always trying to improve and strengthen their brand through the quality of their products. This means
they also have recognized the importance of Halal certification. “Nowadays, when you are exporting, especially to countries
with a sizable Muslim population, the first question is if your products are Halal certified or not,” says Oṟay. He continues further, “Even if it is not the first thing, because you may be
exporting to an area with few Muslims, it is still in the top 3.”
14
Halal certification has come to mean another level of quality and consumer assurance of any company’s products, and
Pakmaya knows that it is the way of the future. Oṟay illustrates the importance of this strategy, “In the future, many countries
besides Muslim countries will require Halal certification just because of the growing demand.”
Pakmaya’s popularity is also due to the stringent
measures taken to ensure hygiene and quality since the
company’s inception. Pakmaya’s five product facilities, four
in Turkey and one in Romania, have received ISO 9001:2000 certification to prove it. “We believe our yeast is the best in
the world, and we put a lot of effort into keeping it that way,” remarks Oṟay. With a capacity of 250,000 tons of fresh yeast equivalent per year and employing over a thousand workers,
Pakmaya also boasts being among the world’s largest yeast manufacturers. Besides quality yeast, Pakmaya has had a
facility devoted to the production and development of quality pastry and baking improvement products to further bolster the use of its yeast and variety of the brand for over ten years. “We

growing statistic. 2013 saw Selva’s exports climb to 250,000 tons with local sales in the range of 20-25,000 tons, which helped the company’s turnover reach US$120 million.
These impressive figures were made possible by Selva’s

Turkey by GIMDES, Selva has made it a point to take advantage of its Halal certification to reach many countries with a large potential for Halal products: Southeast Asia, Africa, the Middle
East, and parts of Europe. How does Halal certification make a difference? “The new generation of consumers is becoming
more and more educated, and they are looking for healthier and more acceptable alternatives to their parents’ choices,” explains Serdar Akgüner, foreign trade manager of Selva Foods. Turkey is
already keen on making sure as many of its products are Halal, so Selva Foods expanded that enthusiasm to all of its products and exports. Recognizing trends and increasing standards is part of great business, and Selva has gotten a sizable head start. “We
believe Halal markets will be much better going forward. It will probably be a must, eventually,” Akgüner remarks further.
Improving on trends is what Selva seems to do best.
Established in 1988 primarily as a wheat producer, they
expanded to pasta in 1993. In 1998 they again changed with
the times and completely computerized their pasta production
facilities. This has led them to HACCP and ISO 9001 certification, another important trend in ensuring quality and safety. Their
wheat mill now outputs 350 tons of wheat and semolina per day, along with 210 tons from their pasta factory.

lready a very popular Vietnamese partner of Big E Food Corporation since 2010, Topcake’s cupcakes and cookies
are quickly gaining recognition for being Halal certified as well as tasty. The company’s focus on quality has taught them to make sure to be able to distribute their premium snacks to as many
people as possible in as many ways as possible. After two years
they obtained Halal certification from the Halal Certification Agency, Vietnam, to further their goals of exporting and sharing.
For Topcake, 2014 is looking to be an exciting year
of expansion. The company is looking to add several new
export areas to take advantage of its new Halal status: China,
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. Topcake is also
strengthening the countries it is currently exporting to: Japan, Cambodia, Ukraine, the Maldives, and Russia. Sales for 2014 are projected to reach over 100 billion Viet dong (about US$5 million), a healthy growth in just 4 years.
“It would not have been possible to even think of
entering many of the surrounding areas and even abroad
without Halal certification,” explains Topcake director, Doan Minh Vu. When asked about this trend, Vu confidently responds, “Halal will definitely get more important in the future.” Topcake takes pride in being able to create their premium products for
all their customers’ needs; and they acknowledge that, with a little more effort than their competition, more customers can feel encouraged to buy their products after specific concerns are met. This is a big part of what sets Topcake apart in Southeast Asia.
Another big part is the setup of their facilities. The
company’s factory is located in the Long Hau industrial zone in Vietnam’s Long An province. All across its 20,000 square
meters, the factory exhibits Topcake’s philosophy: quality first. Their processes are as automated as they can get with wall to wall of the latest in European techniques and machinery. This

they should prove it before consumers even take a bite. Halal certification is part of a larger group of quality certifications
